DataSpell 2025.2 Help

Register DataSpell

You can evaluate DataSpell free of charge for up to 30 days.

DataSpell offers the following activation options:

Trial and subscription

If you are a new user and have not installed any JetBrains tools before, the IDE starts in anonymous trial mode. You do not need to log in or take any additional steps. The trial lasts for 30 days.

On the Welcome screen, you can open an existing project or create a new one. After you open a project, a popup appears, letting you know that you are using a trial version.

A popup about the trial period

The trial also includes access to AI Assistant features. The AI promo is available to anonymous users as well.

If the IDE cannot start the trial automatically, it displays a dialog prompting you to start the trial manually. In this case, click Free 30-Day Trial. If starting the trial still fails, make sure you have an active internet connection.

After the trial version expires, you need to buy and register a commercial license to continue using DataSpell. A new trial period will be available for the next major version of DataSpell.

Access to JetBrains Account: Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems when attempting to log in to your JetBrains Account, this may be due to one of the following reasons:

No free ports

DataSpell waits for a response about successful login from the JetBrains Account website. If there are no ports available, DataSpell will suggest logging in with an authorization token.

Unable to open JetBrains Account in your browser

When you click Log in to JetBrains Account, DataSpell redirects you to the JetBrains Account website. If your system browser doesn't start, use the Troubles emergency button. DataSpell will suggest logging in with an authorization token.

Troubles button in the Login dialog

No access to JetBrains Account

The login process requires access to the JetBrains Account website. DataSpell automatically redirects you to the website or lets you log in with an authorization token. If both options don't work and you cannot access the website, contact your system administrator. Otherwise, it will not be possible for you to log in and start using DataSpell.

Log in with an authorization token

An authorization token is a way to log in to your JetBrains Account if your system doesn't allow for redirection from the IDE directly, for example, due to your company's security policy. DataSpell recognizes when redirection to the JetBrains Account website is impossible. It enables you to copy a link to generate an authorization token manually.

  1. Click Copy link and open the copied link in your browser.

    Copy the link to get an authorization token
  2. Log in to your JetBrains Account to generate an authorization token. After that, copy the token, paste it to the IDE authorization token field and click Check token. Once you've successfully logged in, you can start using DataSpell.
